OpenAI Launches “Businesses in ChatGPT”: How Brands Can Claim Their Profiles and Use AI Agents

Businesses in ChatGPT brings verified brand profiles and direct product catalogs to the conversational interface.

OpenAI announced the 10 November 2026 beta launch of Businesses in ChatGPT on Tuesday creating a new way for brands to manage their presence inside the AI tool.

The platform relies on a management interface called the Business Hub. Companies can claim their profiles, update key details, and supply product feeds featuring pricing and availability.

OpenAI said that ChatGPT is used by 1.2 billion people every week. The Business Hub is open to eligible companies in regions where ChatGPT is available, according to the announcement from OpenAI.

Shopify merchants gain a streamlined setup process through a direct connection. Their eligible products load into ChatGPT automatically using the existing Shopify catalog structure.

Testing in France showed the system operational with full localization. Businesses in ChatGPT features a translated interface for French users.

The system provides analytics including mention counts, outbound site clicks, and discovery topics showing the context in which a brand appears. OpenAI keeps these statistics aggregated to protect user privacy.

Eligible companies can build, test, and publish a Business Agent to answer customer inquiries directly. Users interacting with a brand in search results can open a profile and launch a conversation with the agent to compare items or check specifications.

OpenAI plans to monetize the feature through sponsorships and integrations with ChatGPT Ads. Current availability for Business Agents is restricted to e-commerce and online service sites in the United States.
